Brussels Man Makes Practical Test
of Artificial , Light, With 250
Hens; Results .Already Seen;
Markets 15,000 Baby Chicks in
Year.
Brussels, Dec, 19. — The place of
artifice! light in the matter of egg pro-
.duction 'h'as been recognized in the
poultry world for a long time, but few
people in, Ontario have put it to the
pricticai'test;! One of tie fir$t to ex-
periment in' this locality, or in fact in
the province, is Waiter Rose, formerly
of Teeswater,'• whose pou'It'.ry ' farm is
' chiefly noted for the production of baby
i chicks, Mrs, Rose has thousands of
1 White Leghorns and during the season
!he markets chickens Just out of the
! shell to farmers and others who do not
• go into the hatching business them-
selves.
Egg production however, is the chief,
item of business' in'connection with Mr.
Rose's Leghorns, and knowing what has
been claimed ' for the use- of electric
light, particularly at United States ag-
hricuto 1 lie res.an ex'e''n enta sta-
I ra co !, d P ti t 1
(-tions, he decided to make .a test of
I tris own. This test.•ls ,now under way
and after three .Weeks tate result al-
ready !Justifies the sli'ghtefort involved
,in tustallation of.erectrielty,.
Mans More Eggs:
."l'he use of the .electric-.lid,+ht to
lengthen the walling' daJ of. tile hen
net; only meansniore,eggs, bait itmeans
eggs ata time of wear w,heti there would
otherwise be none, when eggs ,are. sell-
ing at thir top figure The, advantage
i of this from fife ,standpoint of the
poultry. man is obvious.
Mr. Rose selected 700 of his haying
•hens and remodelled their time table for
then by use of electricity. But for a
careful test he chose 250 of the best
and put them in two pens, 125 in: each,
fThe. pens are about 20 feet square. 1n
`one of their the, hens get up anti go
to belt as the daylight dictates, in the
other a 75 -watt nitrogen lamp adds sev-
eral hours of "daylight" and the hens
scratch around long after their compan-
ions in the next pen have gone to roost.
In one, pen the working day is about
seven hours, because the ordinary day-
light at this time of year is a little
longer than that. In the next pen the
hens work for 12 hours. They are fed
the same except that one pen is fed
at 4 30 and the other not tin 7.30, At
8.30 the big nitrogen lamp is turned
out, leaving only a little eight -candle -
'power lamp burnid''. This is just
enough to show the hens to roost and
they loose no time in getting there.
They get accustomed to staying off the
roost almost at once, and work by the
light without difficulty.
10 % Laying.
The flock of 125 under the nitrogen
lamp started to lay at once. After
three Weeks 10% of them were laying
every day.• They are laying better as
time goes on. The hens in the other
test pen are not laying at all. "and will
not be for months," Mr. Rose says.
The value of the scheme will be eas-
ily admitted by owners of large locks
which are not laying at all or present-
ing their owners with about one egg
a day during this particular season.
It would be quite possible to overdo
the thing as Mr. Rose points out, The
hens could be easily be.overworked by
the extension of the artifice! light prin-
ciple.
,trust not be_ overdone now, because
too much tctivity. would result in a
laffing off in the spring, when eggs for
hatching are more valuable even than
the fresh 'eggs are now,, But it is be-
lieved that .the "forcing" of eggs .can
be' Wisely carried 'out d'tiring winter
months to a certain extent, chiefly for
the reason that eggs at that season are
cotnnianding 'the highest- price of the
year.
15,000 Baby Chicks.
• Hundreds of farmers around Brussels
depend on the Rose farm for replenish-
ing their flocks in the spring. They
kill off the nonproducers and even the
layers in the fall in large numbers, and
instead of buying eggs and using an in-
cubator in the spring, they buy the
baby chicks, a few days old, and save
themselves the trouble of batching.•
There is often 'risk 'and 'bother 'with
eggs, and they can buy all they want

NCE our newspapers were divided in••••%,
o
three classes ---"Grit," Tory," and "Inde-
pend'ent.'>. In the case of "Grit" arid
"Tory" papers; if you knew what the party
policy was, you always knew what they were go-
ing to say: The "Independent paper usually
died. Then came
wits its slogan, "A Newspaper, Not
An Organ." That slogan used to
cause smiles. 13u1, As the years
passed, its significance was appre-
ciated.
The Star does not care much
about who wins elections. It
cares a great deal about winning
caersrs. Arid it is a noteworthy
thing about the causes advocated
by The Star, that most of them have
been adopted and incorporated into
the laws of the community.
ilere is a paper that, if it is giv-
i:ig a Government general support,
does not wait to see what that
Government is going to say or do
on any particular issue, before ex-
pressing, itself. The anxiety is
sometimes on the part of the Gov-
,
eriijnent, to know what The Star
is' gode to say.
In buying The Star you may be
sure you are getting exactly what
the phrase says—"A Newspaper,'

The Star is as much a "Woman's" paper as a man's. Women
like it, not merely for the Departments which are devoted exclusively
